This was my first visit and I went in for an Ortho Consultation. Right away I was greeted by all of the staff at the front desk. There was no wait time when I checked in, and Clarissa came to get me. She started with a tour, provided me with the details of the visit and did my x-rays and photos. She was professional and very courteous. I was offered chap stick and water. Dr. Tabakman was also very professional and thorough in his time with me. I got a full explanation of treatment with multiple options and decided to receive treatment. Everything was excellent and I look forward to braces treatment from Dr. Tabakman

We were very satisfied on our first visit and we are looking forward to continue to be and happy and satisfied with our subsequent visits coming soon. The staff were professional and knowledgeable and there were many of them which was probably one of the reasons why we received undivided attention and overall satisfaction . The staff appear happy and not burnout as I have noticed in other places.Well staffing makes a lot of difference.

Everyone was super nice I loved my experience! I would recommend 100%
November 7, 2017Maria Del Mar M.Verified patient
The front desk did not have my appointment or details in the system when I arrived despite sending my patient forms on Zoc Doc. I was told that the practice did not accept forms through the app and had to refill all my information. When I did finally see Dr. Vladimir I felt rushed when it came to the Invisalign consult and felt awkward asking questions as they were greeted with a short answer, abruptness and lack of explanation when I clearly just wanted to understand what is a very time intensive and expensive treatment. I have veneers on my upper teeth and wanted to fully understand the implication of moving these teeth and did not feel that the doctor took my concerns seriously. I did not feel at all comfortable proceeding; I realize Dr. Vladimir is a diamond provider but for me this does not make up for genuine patient care and I will not be back.
